Amber Is A Special Guest On The Slayerfest 98 Podcast

7/24/2018

There was excitement for fans a few days ago as Amber was one of the special guests on the latest episode of the Slayerfest 98 Podcast titled Amber Benson's Insect Reflection.

Together with fellow special guest Louis Peitzman, hosts Ian Carlos Crawford and Mathew Rodriguez they discuss Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 5 Episode 6 “Family”.

As many fans will know Amber played the role of Tara Maclay on Buffy the Vampire Slayer for three years between 1999-2002. Family gives us a glimpse of what Tara’s life was like before arriving in Sunnydale. I'm not going to give many details away here because I still meet people who are just discovering Buffy and/or Amber’s work so I’m avoiding spoilers for anyone who might want to discover Buffy for themselves. It will come as no surprise to fellow Amber fans that it is one of my all time favourite Buffy episodes.

The group discusses key scenes from “Family” and Amber tells us her own Buffy origin story of how she was cast to play Tara as well as talking about her experience on the show and working with the cast. Amber lifts the lid on some of the special effects used in "Family" episode, favourite Buffy outfits, on screen kisses and more.

Amber Is A Guest On The Switchblade Sisters Podcast

2/27/2018

Last Thursday Amber was the guest on the Switchblade Sisters podcast. In each episode film critic April Wolfe invites a female actor, writer, director or producer to discuss one of their favourite action or genre films. As Amber has all of these credits to her name she was an ideal guest. Amber's chosen film was 1980s horror classic Night Of The Comet. It had a big impact on her at an early age in part due to it having two young female protagonists Amber and April talk about the film’s key messages and themes and much more.

They also delve into filmmaking and how Amber made her first self financed film Chance which she wrote and directed as well as playing the title role opposite former Buffy the Vampire Slayer co star James Marsters. It's a wonderful film and to find out more click the hyperlink to visit our dedicated Chance page. Amber also discusses her role of Tara on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and her 5 book Calliope Reaper-Jones series of novels. I think Calliope is a fantastic character and I love the world Amber created. To find out more please visit our visit our dedicated Calliope Reaper-Jones section by clicking the hyperlink above. They also discuss the need for female characters to be both complex and at times flawed.

I thoroughly enjoyed this podcast, it's an absolute must listen for any Amber fan. Her enthusiasm for writing and creating shines through and she's funny, honest and insightful. I'll be honest I hadn't even heard of Night Of the Comet before listening to this podcast but I was so intrigued I ordered the film online so I could watch it myself.
